Well Flash is a versitile tool to make animations games advertisements or fancy sites. Your going to probably pick up a book on actionscript 3.0 (Actionscript 3.0 Essentials by Colin Mook is a personal fav), and your going to need to install either Flex or Flash IDE. Practice the tools and concepts and build your way up to a website

your gunna wanna practice Buttons, MovieClips, URLRequests, and the hierarchy of a DisplayObject. Maybe make a few animations. Get confused post questions here!

the files that you edit and work with will be .fla files and when your done you'll compile them into .swf files. those are what you'll put on your website
